1978 Map of Pintada Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pintada Creek and Tecolote Creek carve through the high plains of Las Animas County in this 1970s land study. The map illustrates a landscape of intermittent drainage and significant topographical relief, dominated by the broad elevation of Tecolote Mesa in the southwest and the rising slopes of Carrizo Mountain to the east. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a network of ranching roads, a Jeep Trail, and isolated infrastructure such as a Well. Resource extraction is evident at the Gravel Pits located near the northern township line. Geologists and local researchers will find interest in the precise locations of water sources like Dripping Springs and the drainage patterns of Dripping Springs Creek as they flow toward Baldy Canyon, providing a clear record of the watershed before modern land-use changes.
